It must have given Dr Ludwig Christmann of the Hanoverian Verband great satisfaction to record in his 2007 summation of the 'hot' stallions in Hanover, that:
"Nationwide the highest valued jumper horse producer is the Hanoverian Stakkato by Spartan. He received 169 points in the integrated breed value estimation of the National Federation (FN) and 165 points in the
breed value estimation of the Hanoverian Association, which reflects a great conformity. For the fifth time Stakkato holds the leading position of all jumper horse producers.
In the beginning there was undoubtedly scepticism, whether his offspring would be able to fulfil the high expectations set by Stakkato's high breed values. In the
meantime good quality in his progeny is the proof. 1997 was his first year of breeding. During last year's show season his oldest descendants were only eight years old. 188 of his offspring are registered as competition horses, 136 successfully competed in jumper riding horse classes and in open jumper classes. Twenty-one of his foals were successful at the most difficult level, which is quite an impressive quota at such a young age. Many of his youngsters are stabled with international competitors, as for instance the mare Rueckenwind, who has a considerable show record in international classes for young horses under her rider Holger Wulschner."
In the 2007 Hanoverian Stallion yearbook, Stakkaato's progeny achieve the very high rating of 165 for their jumping ability and 97 for their dressage.. In keeping with Dr Bade's worries about type, his offspring have a poor raiting of 78 for their conformation - although it should be noted that Dr Ludwig Christmann has found a negative correlation between jumping ability and scores for type.
In 2007 Stakkato is the sire of 188 competition horses with winnings of Euro 158,750 - with 21 competing at 'S' level. He is the sire of 26 states premium mares and 17 licensed sons.
As a performer himself, Stakkato has been quite successful with winnings to date of 209,080 Euro with 6 wins at 'S' level including a 1st in the 1.50 m at Balve CSI*** and 3rd in the 1.55 m at Aquisgrana CSIO****.
